So yesterday I discovered pies from this place were being sold at a local grocery store:

The town where this place is located is population of about 500, in the middle of nowhere Nebraska. Made from scratch, sold frozen that you bake yourself, and damned awesome. We tried rhubarb, and I'm curious about gooseberry. But most of all, it made me think of Sam/Dean domestic fic I've read. I will never, ever, ever be tired of Sam/Dean domestic/curtain fic where Dean or both of them end up working for a bakery.

Also, saw a modelviewer pic of the female worgen to be put out in Cataclysm, and I am so underwhelmed it's not even funny. The design rather raises my hackles actually. The base worgen design is awesome, very much werewolf, of-wolf-and-man thing. The Cataclysm design for the male worgen hearkens to that, and looks awesome as hell. Looks right. The female design...looks cheesecakey. Like a wolf version of a catgirl, more like some sort of furry fanartist designed it. I don't know why, but it *bugs* me. I'll definitely only be playing male worgen. But more than that, I'm going to hate seeing the female worgen around. I know they're female, but FFS, they should still look like *worgen*. In other WoW news, the guild has been going through more issues.

I think I need to give in and buy a 12-pack of Mountain Dew Whiteout. Craving that like crazy.

Also, the people on my flist are awesome and brilliant, and I love how y'all think. ^_^ ♥

Ohman, it's so true. There just is no middle ground with the way WoW toons look. They're either awesome, or they're the suck. I remember I wanted to play a male toon when I first tried the open beta for the original game, rolled a male night elf, and stopped within a couple levels. God, he was just so fugly. And the humans all looked like He-Man action figures. >_< And I still can't stand how gnomes look. And I found most of the horde races blah or outright ugly (I am really, really not a fan of the Forsaken. >_>; )

I confess, I dig night elf females ^^; But my first nelf toon was one I picked because she resembled a teenage male anime character. XD; I also really dig troll females, because they're so striking without having to be 'pretty' like belf females (bleh, they're so twiggy and bitchy-looking >_< ). And they look fierce without tough=fugly like for orc females. But female draenei, omg FAVORITE ♥ I create so many gal draenei alts because I love their look and love their starting zone so. ♥!

It's funny though--I love everything about dwarves, male and female, and same about tauren--their look, personality, emotes. But I never manage to do alts of them that last. Same with male draenei, male orcs and male trolls. I think they're *cool*, but can't seem to play 'em.

That being said, my absolute favorite is still male blood elf. >_> I was full of MASSIVE GLEE, when they were announced, and was *THRILLED* because they were exactly the sort of male toon I'd wanted to play all along. And even though I was annoyed when they bulked them up (the whole 'zomg they're slender so they must be gay zomg' crap pissed me off, because hello, weight/body shape does not lead to orientation, mmkay? Not to mention all the issues I had with the idea that anything even remotely gay was bad, and only ubertestosteroneheteromale is good, grr argh), I still wanted to play 'em. I find it ironic that though they changed them from being sort of 'bishounen', that their bodybuild right now reminds me of RL gay men I have known.

Okay, so I consider my male belf toon flamingly gay, but that's beside the point. ^^ I swear I have permanent slash goggles, of course I'd be like that. :|

WAY TO RAMBLE ON, SELF. Sorry. Anyway, woooo male worgen! And yeah, FFXI character designs are seriously cool. It's the main reason why I wanted to play it so much--it just would have been such a bad one for me to try, though. >_< But I really want an art style like in that game.
